Critics Review
“Deborah Kelly’s moving metaphor comparing a shattered family to a mosaic will bring comfort to children aged four to eight who are coming to terms with parental separation. The Mosaic reassures readers that every family is perfect in its own way – even if the people have been rearranged into a new reality. Sometimes, when a fractured life imitates art, something precious is created with the pieces.” – Buzz Words Magazine“Deb has taken this very delicate topic of separation or divorce and written a beautiful, poignant, and hopeful story. Nicky has layered it with her gorgeous illustrations. The whole thing just speaks to healing and finding a new normal and the beauty that can come from change.“ – Middle Grade Mavens podcast“Children all over the world are impacted by parental divorce and separation. The Mosaic offers a fresh perspective, focusing on the good that can come from change and giving children comfort in a time of grief and uncertainty.” – Midwest Book Review
